Get the team fast eddy set for FG, it's a universal set, so it will work for both truck or car, these are really good.

the boca bearings are expensive...about $9 each I believe, fast eddie are the way to go unless you want to spend big cash then go for the boca orange where you can.

Ceramics have the advantage of being lighter and also harder than steel balls. Additionally, ceramic balls are less prone to thermal expansion.

With ceramic ball bearings my rc's are faster. Upon taken them apart and comparing them to other bearings the quality is much better. Quality is worth the price.

Ceramic balls are lighter & stronger which means they'll be faster [8D]

Ceramic balls are very, very hard.

Corrosivness is so much less comparing to steel especially going thru the harsh elements. Rigerous off roading ( intense pounding ) and high speed runs ceramic bearing have last the longest in my rc's. I use ceramic for the extreme rc's that I have, there more well suited for them.

Try them. See what you think. [sm=wink_smile.gif]
